teligion throughout the empire,

yean or age The Gazette of the
Royal Academy, published. in the
month of January last, contains a
jislcment of the progress of the pop
ulation in Russia, as far as it concerns
those who profess the Greeo-Riissian
reli ’on in the course of 182(5. This
do ••moot contains results still more

passed the age of 9u years; 1432 that
oi do; and 913 tlial of 100. Among
ilie latter, 38 were more than 115
years of age; 24 more than 120; 7
more than 125; and there was one
that was 160 years old at his death!
The military resources ol Russia
are immense; authors are not agreed
with regard to the effective strength
of the empire. Her army is estimat
ed at from G to 800,U00 men—200,000
of which she can call into immediate
service. Her navy consists of about
400 sail.
In the wars with France, the Rus
sian generals placed much greater re
liance on the desperate character of
the Cossacks, than on the true cour
age or correct discipline of the regu
lar soldiery. To fight for the honor
of the Virgin Mary, to die for their
mo!her—for all the Royal Family;
that if slain iu battle, they shall have
an itumediale'transition to the arms of
ninety thousand Virgins of their church,
who officiate in paradise, form an im
portant article in every Russian sol
dier's creed. This prompts them to
rush inconsiderately to tiie fight, re
gardless of consequences. VVhen a
peasant is enrolled as a soldier, he
places implicit confidence in his sti
pei iors his life is entirely at their
disposal, and his greatest satisfaction
consists m his devotedness to their
m isi unreasonable demands. Sir
R licit Wilson, in his account of the
Russian campaigns, gives several in
stances in character'. The untrained
Russian undaunted whilst he confronts
danger; disdains the protection of fa
voring ground, or the example of Ins
adversary, presents his body exposed
from head to foot, either to the aim o!
the marksman, or the storm of ihe
cannonade. “No carnage, says Sir
Robert, •‘-intimidates the sinvivors;
bullets may destroy, but the aspect
of death awes not. even when a com
manders evident error has assigned
the fatal station.” ‘ Comrades, go
not forward into the trench,” cried out
a retiring party to an advancing de
tachment, ‘retreat with us. or you
will ho lost, for the enemy are already
in possession.” “Prince Potemuis
must look to that, for it was he who
gave us the order,” replied the com
mander; and lie and his men marched
forward anti perished, the victims o(
a courageous sense of duty. It
was litis fratitick spirit, which in
the breast of a Russian soldier sup
plies the place of cour-gc, that ena
bled Alexander to compete with the
far better disciplined troops of Na
poleon; and it is this spirit, if they
still retain it, that must carry them
triumphantly though the contest in
which they are now engaged. Sol
diers, influenced by such sentiments^
and urged on to desperation by false
religious notions, can only be checked
by tlieiiown entire destruction. Judging
from recent events, however, we are
in lined to the belief that the gradual
improvement which has been going on
in the moral and intellectual condi
tion of Russia, lias in a very great de
gree, if not entirely, changed the cha
racter of her soldiery, and that her
c< mmandei'S, at this time, place a
greater reliance on the manly cour
age and st ri. t discipline of their troops,
than on the uncontrollable fury of fa-
naticks —Masonic Mirror.

Ijook at your Clothinga—Can you
not save a cent there? Do you not
change your hat before it is half worn,

How can one save a cent a day?—
In many wavs. Drink cold water,

save nliat goes for spirits, wine

you will live longer, and do more
work. If not, then give spirits to

essential for guarding the body against
the dangers arising from the great and
sudJen changes, for which, at all sea
sons of the year, our climate is so ve
ry remarkable. F^anuei is not only
a slow conductor of heat, but* a very
rapid conductor of moisture—so that,
while it retains the natural heal of
the body, it promptly conveys off any
undue moisture from respiration,
leaving the skui dry, and thus prevent

those who are exposed to, and are
much affected, by sudden atmospher

It 1ms been suggested by high au
thorities, that to obtain a full benefit
of a flannel dress, it should be chang
ed at night, or one of linen or qourse
calico substituted on going to ffed.
It is urged that during the night the
body is subjected to no such vicissi
tudes as by day—that the w'ants of
the body are generally fully supplied
by tin* bed clothes in ordinary use;
that a flannel dress worn next the
skin during the night becontj^ym
charged with perspiration as gfeimy
to increase its power of conducting
heal, thereby lessening, in a great de
gree, its preservative effects.

It would seem, also, that by this

Dyspepsia.^-The Southern Review
lays down the following rules to widely,
it says the race of dispeptics must
submit or prematurely die:—• -
1. Rise early, dip the feet in cof#
water, and rub them dry—use th©
flesh brush ten minutes before dress-
ing.
2. Employ the hours before break--
fast iu exercise in the open air* and
let it he more vigorous as your
strength improves.
3. Eat slowly, and in moderation,
those things you like, and which you
know not to disagree with you.
4. Between break fast and dinner,
take one or two hours exercise, eith
er within doors, or in the air, which
is the best, and occasionally take a
warm bath between 12 and two
o’clock. t
5. Never eat between meals q
drink within two hours of eat.in
Dine about 3 o’clock, and observe t h
rule No. 3. Drink as little as poss ill
at dinner.
After dinner lie down, if so dispose
ed, for an hour, ami about 5 or Q
o’clock take exercise in the open air
if possible. The more exercise per
day, without fatigue, the better.
8. If you must eat, takp your last
meal at 7 or 8 o’clock: let it be as
light and moderate as possible, avoid**
ing tea and coffee.
9. Retire to bed at 10. after fu**t
